During a recent government meeting, board members discussed their mission to develop an environmental sustainability plan for city operations, aiming for 100% clean energy by 2035. The board is tasked with creating an assessment plan to monitor the implementation of this sustainability initiative and will provide annual reports to the city council on their progress.

Key responsibilities outlined include reviewing existing ordinances and policies that impact the environment, with a focus on areas such as recycling standards, environmental regulations, landscape preservation, and floodplain management. The board's broad mandate reflects a commitment to enhancing the city's environmental practices and ensuring accountability in achieving sustainability goals.

The discussion also highlighted past challenges, including difficulties in maintaining quorum during meetings since the board's inception in 2019. This underscores the ongoing need for active participation and collaboration among board members to fulfill their objectives effectively.
